In this issue we focus on insights from a Shamanic ritual of a Nordic King that offers more understanding on the problem of love and how it all went wrong.
Thank you for joining us once again on your favorite movie review blog as we uncover insights, ideas, and messages hidden in this movie's scenes. We hope you gain insights into the development of a better world from this Nordic themed fantasy movie.
The Northman is a fantasy warrior movie with a twisted story of vengeance. Although, the movie is not a true story, its scenes and symbolisms are deeply rooted in Nordic legend, folklore, and medieval Scandinavian history. The movie showcases and offers insights into medieval Viking rituals and traditional practices. 

There are many symbolic references in this movie, including the reference to the organic nature of angelics as dogs or werewolves, and the destruction of love by humiliating nudity as we have previous explained in countless reviews. However, we focus on the issue of Odin the all-father and how his story relates to the deprivation of love. 

  • Odin the All-Father 

    In one scene, the King takes his son to see a male seer and they perform a medieval shamanic ritual. During the ritual, the seer asks; Tell me, how did Odin lose his eye?' and the boy replies; 'To learn the secret magic of women'.
    In Nordic folklore and mythology, Odin willingly traded his eye to gain cosmic wisdom and insight. Odin is said to have journeyed to the root of the world tree, Yggdrasil, and the Well of Mimir where he traded his eyes to Mimir in exchange for magical waters.
    The legends and folklore claim that Odin was seeking to gain spiritual wisdom, but I have a different perspective based on intuitive knowledge.
    Odin is an alternate cultural version of Archangel Michael, and if you compare Nordic history, you'd see that the stories of Jesus hold symbolic repetitions related to Odin, including 9th hour, death, descension and ascension to heaven. Odin is the same essence as Michael, which means that Odin is also the personification of the God attribute of Love. Like we mentioned in the review of 'House of the Dragon', Michael is love, Gabriel is Justice, and Raphael is enlightment or light. Nordic mythology talks of Odin losing his eye, hanging from a tree, and being pierced by a spear. These symbolisms are quite similar to those reenacted by Jesus from the Christian religion.
    All women want to be loved and to be with love and they were all drawn to Odin, but he understood the importance of the distribution of love. Odin as love, had power to defend every woman who wanted to be with him. This created a problem, because if a woman rejected the due assignment of her true love, because she preferred being with Odin, Odin couldn't reject her because of Love, and he could defend her from her upset or cheated true love. You can only imagine the conceited jealousy and envy that built among the Gods.
    As a God, Odin knew that the flow of women towards himself created an imbalance in the flow of things. As a God he had foresight, he didn't seek to see into the future but he sought to destroy his own spiritual awareness so that he could reduce his ability to protect and obtain all women. He was the highest and most powerful male being and also the all-father to all. He knew that there would be different challenges along the way to the future, because of the different attributes his children possessed, especially the ones who carried the demonic or scientific side of God and whom had an early or primitive tendency to be evil.
    To correct this imbalance, Odin is known to destroy himself by self-sacrifice, because even if he is love, the reduction of his powers would endear lesser women to himself, or at least make him less capable of defending them from their assigned true loves. Thus, he hoped that love would spread in the right way to correct the balance and flow of things.
    The ultimate question then is; Why has the reincarnated and less powerful versions of Michael or Odin been entrapped in slavery, deprivation, and killings. The answer lies in the early stories of Odin. The jealousy and envy accumulated by the early interest of women could have created some mishaps or unfortunate experiences that lingered in the hearts of those who were affected. Maybe a jealous male lover, or a woman who felt cheated by Odin's rejection. Such malice in God-form could have built over time.
    Furthermore, when the deception of cheating love became an accepted tradition. The liars are known to instigate 'love' to sleep with their wives, and then blame him for being a destroyer of love. Just like Odin regretted spoiling the distribution of love, the liars using guilt as a tool would instigate love to be killed or to kill himself in mock acceptance of a reduction of his powers and ability to obtain love. Odin, made lesser by self-sacrifice couldn't see beyond the physical to understand that he was being cheated by their deceit.
    These deceiving sequences lingered and permeated culture, tradition, and religion to the detriment of love. Thus, the balance Odin sought to restore was countered by the greed and deceit of the betrayals of love.
    The secret of women is what we have elaborated on in this blog, and that secret is that women are aligned with, and one with the cosmic or planetary bodies, just like we described in our eBook; 'Twelve Sisters and Twelve Planets'. The successful flow and cosmic ascension of humanity is tied to the way we treat our women. Therefore, the emancipation and freedom of women is vital to economic and social balance in our world. The love of women is the creative essence that gives blessings and financial upliftment to a man's efforts. Love is the creative essence that help men actualize their true potentials. This is why women are forcefully enslaved and entrapped by fraternities who greedily seek to covet what belongs to everyone by enslaving and preventing men from actualizing their true potentials. It is also important to note that women often feel cheated when they are deprived or prevented from being with the carrier of the attribute of love, because they also draw from love, like men draw from the love of women. 
    To correct these imbalances in our world, women must be free to return their loves to their true loves. Power isn't everything, power ruined everything. We must learn to be responsible with power so that it doesn't ruin this cycle of life, this opportunity to recreate and reclaim the true alignments and corrections of our human race journey.
